Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, you are not pregnant.
Ultrasound is more specific and sensitive than routine pregnancy test. So if ultrasound is not showing any sac than you are not pregnant.
Positive pregnancy test is mostly due to hormonal imbalance. PCOS (poly cystic ovary syndrome) patients are known to have hormonal imbalance.
And this hormonal imbalance is the likely cause for your left abdominal pain.
So better to get done hormone levels and start hormone therapy according to the hormone levels.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
